Prevent Data Loss with AI-Powered Drive Failure Prediction

DA Drive Analyzer goes beyond traditional S.M.A.R.T attributes with cloud-based AI that precisely analyzes drive health to predict failures. With alert notifications of potential drive failures, you can prepare in advance to replace drives before they fail and lose data.

AI-powered diagnostics that predict drive failure

Powered by a cloud AI engine provided by ULINK, the world leader in IT storage interface test tools, the ULINK DA Drive Analyzer analyzes millions of real users’ historical data of drives to intelligently predict if one of your drives is near failure. This allows you to plan for replacements and service continuity before drive failure occurs. With DA Drive Analyzer's user-friendly interface, you can check both the life prediction score and drive health status (including temperature and test IOPS). You can also view advanced information about your drives on the ULINK DA Portal. With DA Drive Analyzer, surprise drive failures are a thing of the past.

Why you need DA Drive Analyzer

When a drive fails, you not only potentially lose all the files/data stored on it, but it can also lead to a severe domino effect that causes downtime and cripples interconnected services and workflows. While most enterprises reply on S.M.A.R.T. attributes as drive detection tools, a study has shown that over 30% of drives failures did not trigger any S.M.A.R.T. error alerts. By receiving detailed information on each drive from AI-powered prediction provided by DA Drive Analyzer, you can plan drive replacement in advance to prepare for drive failure before it occurs.

Designed for enterprises and SMBs

• Ensures enterprise data security
• Supports SATA, SAS and NVMe drive analysis
• Completes drive failure prediction in 24 hours
• Customized drive detection settings

How DA Drive Analyzer works

Your NAS tracks raw drive health data, records system events, and uploads this data to the cloud AI engine daily, allowing AI to have sufficient data for drive failure analysis. DA Drive Analyzer then provides recommendations based on an AI trained with the analysis data from over a million drives.

• Check the status of all drives in your NAS and connected expansion units.
• Check each drive’s status on Drive Life Prediction Score. The lower the score, the lower the drive’s health.
• Check which day DA Drive Analyzer alerts you.

Comprehensive drive health diagnostics. Strengthened data protection.

Enhanced enterprise privacy with Proxy server connection

Most organizations deploy proxy servers to secure client devices when connecting to external networks. DA Drive Analyzer supports various proxy server connection protocols to hide your IP address from external networks while uploading NAS data to the cloud.

• Six proxy protocols supported: HTTP / HTTPS / SOCKS4 / SOCKS5 / SOCKS4A / SOCKS5H Supported in all QNAP NAS with QTS 5.1.3 / QuTS hero h5.1.3 (or later).

Supports SATA, SAS and NVMe drive analysis

DA Drive Analyzer not only supports SATA HDD/SSD status detection but also predicts drive failure of high-performance SAS HDDs/SSDs and NVMe SSDs. This assists enterprises in taking early action to replace drives before failure, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring that critical business data is safeguarded.

Get drive failure predictions within 24 hours

DA Drive Analyzer analyzes drive health data in as little as 24 hours. Within 24 hours of installing the application, you will be able to predict the likelihood of failure over the next 6 months. With this information, you can plan for drive replacements and prevent potential data loss and system downtime.

Customizes your drive data upload time

You can flexibly decide the upload time of your drive health data to ULINK’s AI-powered analytics platform with customized schedules to ensure that the data needed for drive health analysis reaches DA Drive Analyzer. Supported in all QNAP NAS with QTS 5.1.3 / QuTS hero h5.1.3 (or later).
